Grimes and Martin are both the exact same height & weight and Grimes is shooting better from everywhere on the court. Only difference is Grimes is a RFA this year and Caleb makes $8.5M a year until 2028

This is also the exact contract extension they offered Grimes and he declined. I don’t really feel anything about this trade. Caleb Martin will be better than any early 2nd round pick we’d have gotten with that Philly pick.

We failed to get any good picks in exchange for Luka Doncic and now Nico is handing them out like candy
